Except for the tempoin decline tn the second week of April , rates exchange have steadily pierced to a muxlmu ever since the bond syndicate contract. T reason for this has been explained. The natur movement of exchange was to the point of actu gald shipment. Buch a movement the symllcn 'n performance of Its contract averted throui Its own sales of sterling. Dut as their wish w merely to hold the market under the point forced exports of specie , the syndicate bnnke naturally withheld their bills until top rat were bid. At present there are In process ; oipummatlon several irnnsactlons through whl the current demand for sterling may be m ivlth bills drawn against * recent security sales lyjndon. The syndicate bankers have themsclv ilaced In I/mdon within a fortnight two hree blocks of American securities , Includli hose of the Southern Railway , the Manlmtti Elevated , and probably nt least one other cor pany. Hut how far these sales will net towa he permanent depression of exchange Is as > loubtful , It Is quite possible syndicate banke hero would cover on such reaction port of th < iwn previous sales of sterling. Permanent mov inentA In this , as In so many other markets , a 'Ikuly to depend on the unfolding outlook f .he crops.
